Best Casual Restaurants in Saratoga

The remodel is lovely! The new menu took some adjustment, as the choices have been reduced, and some of the menu items are less familiar as entrées. My husband ordered the pozole, which was just okay, and small in portion size. I had the chicken enchilada combo with beans and rice. The plate was not at all pretty, and could have used some color from lettuce, tomato, and sour cream, just as a little garnish, but the enchilada was the best I have ever had. We also ordered chips that came with three different salsas. They are serving different salsas than they did before and only the green sauce was satisfying. One taste of the red salsa and we were done. The third dip was a sour cream mixture that was a little strange. Considering we had to pay seven dollars for chips and salsa, we wish that the salsa choices had been better .We ordered a classic margarita to go with our meal, which was unremarkable. Our server was delightful, though he was literally on the run as he was serving a large area. He surprised us by bringing us a complementary churro dessert for our anniversary. We were pleased with the total cost of our meal, and were not displeased with our overall experience. I would certainly recommend that the chefs find a way of making the entrées, more beautiful with splashes of color from little garnishes. It makes a difference! 

We had a wonderful time celebrating our friend’s birthday. Food was good, ambience great, cocktails were excellent and the service was par excellence. Alex was courteous, professional and made our celebration special. Highly recommend the restaurant. Will definitely come back again.

I love the Chai tea. The food is so amazing. I love trying something new every time I eat here. I can't wait to come back.

The cashew chicken salad was delicious! The lavender & lemon “Refresher” mocktail was a perfect accompaniment. We arrived at 11:30 and it was nice and quiet. It became more loud and lively as the place filled up. Tip: It is one of the few local restaurants open on Monday, so a reservation is a must! Parkside remains one of my favorite lunch spots. 👍🏻

My first visit to The Heid was a very pleasant one - it has a fine taste in decor and the whole Inn is in a lush green serene creek side setting. The appetizers/small bites were delicious and good to share with 2-4 people. We had Hummus, flatbread and charcuterie dishes. I and my friends were there during Happy Hour between 5 and 7pm when some beer and a couple of cocktail drinks were a few dollars off. I would go back and try their breakfast next time.
